Well, a few questions. =)

1. Do you usually require a deposit first before starting work on a project, or do you generally just start new jobs without a deposit?

2. If you do get the deposit first, then how much roughly is it? (percentage-wise)

3. Do you usually write up a proposal first that is agreed upon, or do you just have a casual verbal agreement?

4. Have you ever been in a situation where someone didn’t pay you… and if so, what did you do about it?

I guess that’s it. Thank ya very much for answering, to those who do.
